> Scrum exists because managers don't trust developers to get things done without constant supervision
it's not that they don't trust them, it's that they don't get things done without constant supervision.
> potentially really smart people
potential is not actual. in actuality, most of your coworkers are decidedly average. and the average coder, like the average driver, isn't that great.
the solution for smart people (who also produce), is to not work at these places. easy.
i say this having only worked at 2 places that do scrum. both of those places had only enough superstars to count on one hand, and the rest of the staff were dullards. yet, they got things done, thanks to the micromanagement of scrum. i didn't participate in the scrum, because f' that.
